Faking Evidence

The New York State Police's supervision of a major crime laboratory was
so poor that it overlooked evidence of pervasively shoddy forensics
work, allowing an analyst to go undetected for 15 years as he falsified
test results and compromised nearly one-third of his cases, an
investigation by the state's inspector general has found.

The analyst's training was so substandard that at one point last year,
investigators discovered he could not properly operate a microscope
essential to performing his job, the report released on Thursday said.

Prosecutors aren't worried:

But on Thursday, police officials said that none of the district
attorneys had found that Mr. Veeder's work had cast doubt on any of
their convictions.

"We are satisfied that there were no wrongful convictions,
nor any miscarriages of justice which resulted from these improper
procedures," Mr. Corbitt said, stating a viewpoint also shared by Mr.
Fisch.

Right. Because if there were, you'd come out and tell us. I really wish I could believe you.
